Publisher's summary

As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. But the saying doesn't go far enough, because truth is much stranger (and more entertaining) than any of us could possibly imagine. And the proof is right here.

For almost 20 years, Chuck Shepherd, John J. Kohut, and Roland Sweet have been combing the nation's newspapers for true stories of bizarre human behavior. This astounding, uproarious, and absolutely factual audio contains the most memorable episodes from their wildly popular books: News of the Weird, More News of the Weird, and Beyond News of the Weird.

It's a phantasmagoria of get-poor-quick schemes, fetishes on parade, felonious foodstuffs, sex gone horribly awry, and much, much more.
